Abstract

The basic characteristics of dust-acoustic (DA) shock waves (DASHWs) in self-gravitating dusty plasmas containing massive dust of opposite polarity, trapped ions, and Boltzmann electrons has been studied. The reductive perturbation technique has been employed to derive standard modified Burgers equation (mBE). The basic properties (viz., amplitude, width, and speed) of small but finite-amplitude DASHWs are significantly modified by the combined effects of positively and negatively charged dust component, self-gravitational force, and trapped ions. The implication of our investigation can be very effective for understanding and studying the nonlinear characteristics of the DA waves (DAWs) in laboratory and space dusty plasmas.
